For Whom the Bell Tolls...

The clock strikes at every hour and half hour at University of New Hampshire, and the tower in Thompson Hall has real bells--none of that recording stuff that Western does--that chime in. Hamilton Smith is located right next door to this bell tower, and I am greeted every half hour, in the classes I teach and in the classes I take, with the tolling of the bells.

On campus early today, I was witness to the veritable song that gets played at 11:00 am. It has been a full five minutes, and it is still going.
